Chapter 1
When the digital notepad turns on, the status display lights up and
shows information about your current page.
Now you can start writing. Remember to use only the digital pen
on the notepad—other pens will not record your ink.
Press the ink tip firmly on the paper. When the digital notepad
detects the ink tip, the pen icon appears in the status display, and
the green Activity indicator blinks at the top of the digital
notepad.
If you do not see the pen
symbol, your digital pen
might need a new battery,
described later in this
chapter.
Write notes on the digital notepad anytime, regardless of whether
the computer is turned on, turned off, or in standby mode.
Although both the computer and notepad sides of your system
use the same battery, there are two power buttons. This feature
enables you to turn off your computer when you are not using it,
to save power, and then continue taking notes with your digital
notepad for several hours.
Press the power
button to turn on
the digital notepad.
